Did you know, Big Ben is actually the short name for the big bell in the Elizabeth tower? Whichever name you’re familiar with, the tower is a cultural icon of London and one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world.

To make sure you’re always on time to follow your vacation schedule, why not stay at one of these hotels with views of Big Ben? Your dream holiday in England will surely come true.

Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster are amazing places. Imagine how much history these places have witnessed! Witnessing both places during the day and night, from the comfort of one’s own room, is an experience that most people cannot enjoy. Usually it takes a struggle to be able to enjoy the view of this clock tower, neck is sore from constantly looking up, for a photo. Make sure to book a room in advance because these inns are first-class properties and are sure to disappear from the market quickly.
